I’ve had this blog monetized since I started it. This has been a double-edged sword in the fact that with no traffic, I’m not earning any money however it avoids the down-the-road issue of monetizing later and alienating longtime readers. If there’s always been ads, there’s never the worry about the latter because I’m not fundamentally changing anything about the site itself. The site is young so I do not expect a ton of money to be coming in from such a niche market however, I’ve changed my ad provider tonight from Google’s AdSense back to Adbrite for content delivery.
In the 4 months since I put up the AdSense ads, I haven’t even broken $3.50 but I didn’t expect to. When I first stated using AdBrite, there were no ads shown however, there are ads showing now so I’m going to try their revenue streams to see what I can generate. I admit that some of the ads will be garish and a bit unsightly but I did not see a way to use text ads solely with their service.
So please forgive any stupid looking ads, I’m starting to approve or deny any ads that come my way.

Just letting you know there aren’t any visible adbrite ads here, It just says advertise on this site
Hm, I noticed that too. They were showing up earlier but keep randomly showing the order placeholder.
